The Supreme Court struck down Wednesday part of a section of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code that defines hate speech as something that “ridicules, belittles or otherwise affronts the dignity” of any person as unconstitutional but upheld most of the legislation and ultimately ruled against the anti-gay crusader whose case it was ruling on.

Bill Whatcott will be forced to pay the $17,500 fine and ordered to no longer distribute the flyers.

***This decision had better not have anything to do with Whatcott “coercing” people because he put stuff in people’s mailboxes, because the Taylor decision was about an answering machine message that “the offended” had to call in to voluntarily.

The Supreme Court has upheld the part of the “hate speech” law against writing about certain groups who you feel pose a threat to society, like, oh, I don’t know, belligerent Muslims.
